The defense is decimated

I can't remember a season in which more  starters on defense are on IR or just coming up lame. The offense will have to score 30 a game to have a chance against better teams, and we all know that isn't happening.

 One or two wins is the most I am expecting. Just don't lose 17 straight. I don't see them winning much more then that with the shape of the defense.

Very sad state of affairs. Really can't get much worse.

There wasn't much there in the first place. There was 1 upgrade at safety and they chose to switch the D scheme with so little depth and known player health issues. The last 5 games last year 1 the opponets scored less then 20 points, Saints divisional slap fest, so its not like that unit needing more help wasn't a known thing they mostly ignored or failed to address.

More bad news, the O won't be scoring 30 very often. And it can get worse, it this BS again next year which just seems cruel at this point in this season. 

The good news is that a player or two may establish themselves as decent if they get enough playing time in that mess. Maybe I guess.

It really is wild how many players we’re missing on that side of the ball.

One of the worst parts about it is our defensive line has been healthy all season, yet we are 31st against the run. Our run defense is just awful.

I have yet to understand why teams pass on us.  Make us stop the run first.

Yup. At least we’re 9th against the pass (idk how.) Broncos are 32nd against the run and 30th against the pass. Giving up 440 yards a game.

Really makes me frown thinking about how they have 2 wins with that historically bad defense and we have 0.

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
